Cruise Ships

Burnie is rapidly becoming a preferred destination for Cruise Ships.  In December 2001 P&O's 70,000-tonne Regal Princess returned to Burnie for a second time.  Over 1,300 passengers experienced the sights and sounds of Burnie and the surrounding region for the day, and thanks to their high satisfaction rating for the city, Burnie has gained a firm place on the cruising calender.

Burnie offers a unique volunteer greet and meet programme, and is the only port to offer a free shuttle bus and a special newspaper designed specifically for passengers and crew.  Burnie also provides services for the ship's crew.
